Capable of better still and the one to beat under his penalty. (Forecast 2.10) 2 (5) 201633 ACROSS THE RHINE (USA) 6 D 5 9 - 3 P Shanahan 109 ch g Cuvee - Seductive Smile T Collins Jockey Colours: Black, red epaulets, yellow sleeves, yellow cap, red star Notes: Timeform says: Won 7f events at Meydan (handicap) in February and the Curragh (Group 3) in July. Creditable efforts next 2 starts prior to getting stuck in the mud last time, but no easy task on these terms.

This demands a fair bit more, though. (Forecast 26.00) 4 (8) 126043 LECHEVALIER CHOISI (IRE) 49 3 9 - 1v P J Smullen 89 b c Choisir - Creekhaven J B McCabe Jockey Colours: Emerald green, yellow hoop, emerald green sleeves, white armlets, red cap, white Notes: star Timeform says: Only has a maiden win to his name, but in fine form of late, making running when good third to Doncaster Rover in a visor at York last time. Still has plenty to find, though. (Forecast 34.00) 5 (6) 312132 CHACHAMAIDEE (IRE) 14 D 4 9 - 0h T P Queally 113 b f Footstepsinthesand - Canterbury Lace H R A Cecil Jockey Colours: White and royal blue stripes, royal blue sleeves, white spots, yellow cap Notes: Timeform says: Improved again in a hood this year, winning minor event at York and Goodwood's Group 3 Oak Tree Stakes. Good second in Sun Chariot here last month and sure to be competitive again. (Forecast 3.75) 6 (3) 704072 ELSHABAKIYA (IRE) 7 3 8 - 12 N Callan 102 b f Diktat - Amalie C E Brittain Jockey Colours: White, red sash, red and white striped cap Notes: Timeform says: Second to Dubawi Gold in 7f AW listed race on reappearance in March. Not repeated that form since, albeit very highly tried on occasions, and big surprise if she breaks maiden tag here. (Forecast 67.00) 7 (1) 3-33885 MAQAASID 71 BF 3 8 - 12 R Hills 108 b f Green Desert - Eshaadeh J H M Gosden Jockey Colours: Royal blue, white epaulets, striped cap Notes: Timeform says: Won Queen Mary at 2 and very good third in 1000 Guineas in May. Not repeated that since but 7f could prove this strong-travelling sorts optimum and will be in shake up if back anywhere best. (Forecast 9.00) 8 (2) 2-19408 RIMTH 30 D 3 8 - 12 William Buick 107 b f Oasis Dream - Dorelia P F I Cole Jockey Colours: Dark green, yellow hoop, yellow cap Notes: Timeform says: Won Fred Darling on return in April, but another victim of Chachamaidee when returned to 7f at Goodwood in July. Flopped on her last 2 starts and has plenty to prove in this grade. (Forecast 15.00) TIMEFORM VIEW: This doesn't look the strongest of Group 2s and, despite his penalty, it's hard to oppose the thriving Strong Suit, who hasn't had a hard campaign and promises to be a Group 1 winner further down the line. Chachamaidee seems likely to push him closest. Timeform 1-2-3: 1: STRONG SUIT 2: CHACHAMAIDEE 3: MAQAASID © 2011 At The Races. All Rights Reserved.
